Well ,as a UA student, let me comment. Yeah lots of the houses in my neighboorhood look like "trailer trash" and I agree that students should try to be more responsible and clean. But having said that...the realty companies here are F**king pieces of shit. They do nothing but rent houses out till they practically collapse (and some have while occupied!) and they see no problem w/ allowing 8 and 9 people to live in a house that originally should only have about 4 or 5 people in it. And of course there's not a place to park. They supposedly provide garages at some houses but unfortunately they're clogged w/ 30 years worth of other people's shit. I think that if the furniture is well-maintained there isn't a prob but when it's out on the front lawn or out for trash (and attracted rats) it's a huge problem. We're sort of a humid low-lying area and the pests during the summer are horrible. And parking anywhere here is horrible. There's like 5000 more people than there are spots and to make matters worse there's always some sort of event going on that makes parking even more hellacious. Of course those people never get tickets. Our whole university is screwed up. ARRRRRRGH!!!!!!
